Hi guys! If you have time, please visit our page for the Candies and Whims Translation/Publication Project.. Its a Philippine based project of translating anarchist/feminist/gender/queer/mental health/radical texts from English language into Filipino language with the aim of publicizing it and giving the local community access over these kind of readings. Please help us and if you have any other ideas about what you'll think about the project please let me know. Hit me up at honeyjoy.andres@gmail.com

I'm starting to work on a zine called "queernager," a compilation of various experiences of growing up queer. anecdotes, reflections, recollections, or minicomics are welcome! please email submissions to creativeevolutionzine@gmail.com. thanks so so much,

Everywhere All The Time is a radical travel zine which by its very nature explores dissent from the mainstream travel writing industry with its Ten Best lists, boring hotel reviews and bratty first-world escapist adventures. Written by a broke-ass queer traveler of color, the stories within the zine are unimpressive, awkward and short (like me.) They are completely typewritten and juxtaposed against full color photos illuminating everything from the mundane to the magical and taken anywhere from Beijing to New Orleans. Also featured are dozens of tiny sketches sprinkled throughout the pages. Pre-order the first issue for $5 and receive free shipping, remember, I’m mailing this shit from Ecuador!

I am seeking SUBMISSIONS for a DIY Trans Health zine! This zine will focus on FTM spectrum / gender variant / genderqueer CAFAB* healthcare. The goal is as few gender dysphoria triggers as possible as we empower each other to take control of our healthcare. Here is what is wanted:

Tested tips for treating common complaints such as yeast infections, BV, and UTI

Discussion of barriers and opportunities in healthcare access for FTM spectrum / gender variant CAFAB people

Information about herbs and supplements to support well-being

Discussion of natural and home treatment for depression, anxiety, sleeping problems

Treating problems specifically related to transition or things done to create gender alignment, such as treating problems from binding

Submissions should use terminology appropriate to the community

Where possible, terminology about bodies should reflect what trans men and gender variant people use to refer to their own bodies. Submissions may be edited to standardize terminology.

Send submissions to alchemistscloset@gmail.com. Thank you!

*cafab = baby is assigned to the female sex at birth, whether or not this is true, correct or the right choice for the individual

Thou Shalt Not Talk About The White Boys’ Club: Challenging The Unwritten Rules of Punk [click for excerpts]

Touted as being a home for society’s rejects, outcasts, and ‘alternative’ political stances, punk unfortunately often ends up reinforcing oppressive mindsets and ideals by setting up numerous unwritten rules for dress, behavior, personal choices, identifications, and so much more. This zine, written by sari of Hoax and You’ve Got a Friend in Pennsylvania, aims to direct conscious attention to the nuances of being a marginalized person, namely a Gender and Sexuality Minority (GSM), in the punk community. Includes questions intended to incite dialogue among readers and their friends as well as a short list of recommended resources concerning marginalized experiences in punk. B&W, 34 pages, & text heavy. US$2.50. [etsy / well-hidden cash or trades]
